Background And Purpose: To investigate the reproducibility of deep-inspiration breath hold (DIBH) breast cancer treatments on Halcyon™ performed using the first clinical version of AlignRT InBore™ (Vision RT Ltd., London, UK), a Halcyon's SGRT dedicated solution.
Materials And Methods: The ease and feasibility of DIBH treatments was retrospectively investigated for the initial 22 left breast cancer patients treated on Halcyon™ using AlignRT InBore™.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate how well the AlignRT surface deformation module detects and quantifies swelling (oedema) in breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.
- A female torso phantom with varying thicknesses of water-equivalent boluses was used, along with a dynamic phantom to assess how patient breathing affects swelling estimates.
- The results show that smaller regions of interest lead to more accurate oedema estimates, and a clinical workflow was developed to assist physicians in managing breast swelling without additional radiation exposure.
